USA 5820 Big Jim Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Autumn Gala 2015

USA 5820 Big Jim at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Autumn Gala 9th October 2015. This USA Transportation Corps Class S160 2-8-0 was built at Lima, Ohio in 1945 and directly shipped to England and on to France to support the Allies. It is seen first at Keighley working hard on the first bend with a heavy train. After glimpses of WD 90733 (renumbered 90711), BR 4MT 75078 and MR 4F 43924, there follows an on board view as it hauls the Pullman set out of Keighley round the tight curve. Finally it is seen arriving at Oakworth station and departing again.

A superb video! It shows off Big Jim at his best. A truly remarkable loco.
